Bold, Lively Variegation for Effortless Indoor Style
A Striking Twist on the Classic Heartleaf Philodendron
Philodendron ‘Brasil’ elevates the familiar heartleaf philodendron with dramatic variegation in lime, gold, and deep emerald. Each leaf is uniquely painted with bold brushstroke patterns, giving the plant a playful, artistic energy.
As vines trail or climb, the layered foliage creates a lush, flowing silhouette that instantly warms and energizes indoor spaces. Whether styled in a hanging basket, draped across a shelf, or trained along a wall grid, Brasil adds movement and personality to your décor.
Perfect for Modern Homes and Indoor Jungle Aesthetics
Its vivid coloration stands out beautifully against neutral interiors, wood tones, and contemporary palettes. At the same time, its soft cascading vines add organic softness to structured spaces.
This plant is a favorite for living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and cozy reading corners — anywhere a touch of natural vibrance will brighten the mood.
Adapts to a Wide Range of Light Conditions
Philodendron Brasil thrives in medium to bright indirect light, but it also tolerates lower light conditions — rare for a variegated plant. In brighter light, colors become more distinct and leaves grow larger; in lower light, variegation remains attractive, simply softer in contrast.
This flexibility makes Brasil ideal for apartments, offices, and shelf displays where light isn’t perfect.
A forgiving, low-maintenance favorite
Brasil is a true beginner-proof houseplant — resilient, adaptable, and highly responsive to care cues. It tolerates missed waterings, recovers quickly from relocation stress, and continues to grow steadily throughout the year.
Propagation is easy and rewarding — clip a stem and root in water or soil to create new plants to share with Friends.

How to Care for Philodendron Brasil (Philodendron hederaceum ‘Brasil’)
Be sure to read our planting instructions to ensure a healthy and happy Philodendron Brasil plant for years to come!
How should I plant Philodendron Brasil?
Use a pot with drainage holes and a loose, well-aerated potting mix — ideally one containing perlite or orchid bark. Position the root ball so the top sits at the soil line when repotting. If you want the plant to trail, place in a hanging basket or on a shelf. For larger leaves and upright growth, provide a moss pole or trellis.
How often should I water Philodendron Brasil after planting?
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil become dry. Water thoroughly, then allow excess to drain completely to avoid root rot. In lower light or cooler months, reduce watering frequency. Brasil will slightly droop when thirsty, then perk back up once watered — making it very beginner-friendly.
When should I fertilize Philodendron Brasil?
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer to support bright variegation and quick vine growth. Pause or reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth naturally slows.
When and how should I prune Philodendron Brasil?
Prune long vines to shape or encourage bushier growth. Cut just above leaf nodes to trigger branching. Remove occasional pale or reverted leaves to maintain strong variegation. Stem cuttings root easily in water or soil.
